Time for Teamwork

Andrew Pasquale, Class of 2019, in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.

For Andrew Pasquale, UB has the right medical school at the
right time.

Andrew Pasquale grew up in Lockport, NY, just down the road from
the University at Buffalo, so he knew “firsthand what an
amazing city this is,” he says.

“It is an exciting time to be in Buffalo during the
renaissance of the city, anchored by the new medical campus,”
says Andrew, who adds that he also likes how the UB medical school
emphasizes teamwork among its students.

“The catalyst for great growth and great change happens
when people who care about something greater than themselves come
together,” he says.

Andrew said UB’s offer of a scholarship helped him decide
this is where he wanted to be for medical school. “The cost
of college is tough and being buried in student loans is a feeling
I know all too well,” he says. “The scholarship helps
alleviate this burden and I am truly grateful for it every
day.” Andrew is most interested in cardiology and surgery,
and hopes to work in a hospital setting or private practice after
he graduates.
